After 6 years, I finally got my EZPass. Compared to the 407ETR, EZPass is loads better.
1. There is no rental fee for transponder.
2. I-90 costs on NY averages about 4.6 cents / mile ~ 2.9 cents /km.
Let's look at 407ETR now...
1. $2.50 / month rental.
2. 19.85cents / km!! PLUS a 25 cents base fee.
If 407ETR isn't so damn convenient and if I wasn't ever in a rush, I'd never take it. :(
Oh, in the recent 407ETR bill, there was a small advertisement section asking people to check out the new rates for Feb 2010. 40 cents base fee plus minor adjustments to the kilometre rate. The cost of my two exit trips to/from work just increased by 15%.
I'm seriously considering returning my transponder.
